Question 202522: Describe in words the graph of each of these curves below. Include in your description the shape, along with other possible relevant information such as length, width, and center points.
a. (X+2)2 + (Y-4)2 = 36
I need help learning to solve for x and y (those are squared by the way) and how to find the slope so I can graph it.

Well, in this type of problem (identifying curves from their equations), it is helpful to recognise the standard form of the equation for a circle with its centre at (h, k) and having a radius of r:
Do you see the similarity between this and the given equation?
: h = -2, k = 2, and so that
Can you take it from here?
By the way, you do not have to solve for x or y to answer the question.
But you will have to solve for y to graph the equation.
Here's how you would do this:
Subtract from both sides of the equation.
Now take the square root of both sides.
Add 2 to both sides to isolate the y.
You can simplify the radicand (the quantity under the radical sign) a bit.
Notice that you really have two answers here:
and and, to graph this, you would have to graph both parts, one for the upper half of the circle and the other for the lower half.
